Writing writing writing

To help with my writer’s block I decided to finish off an old draft of an alternate ending to a rather… controversial game entry.
          
          Now, feeling a little refreshed, I’ll be back working on my other projects.

Apologies for my inconsistencies, writer’s block hit me bad amidst some mental health annoyances… but things are looking up and I’m back to the digital pen and paper.
          
          Making no promises, but I am working on finalising some of my miscellaneous projects and publishing them in the near future.

Posting a new update, since replies don’t bump these posts… my plan remains the same, though I’ll be additionally doing something new, I’m not sure for how many fanfiction’s I’ll be doing this, but at-least for RWBY: Rest Azure’d, I’ll be chopping up Chapter’s 1 and 2 into smaller chapters.
          
          I’ve always had this mindset of ā€œmake every chapter feel substantial and completeā€ like it’s an episode of TV or something, but I think I need to get out of it for future… 
          
          1. It does take long.
          2. Writing things way over 5 and often for me, 10K words, is too daunting for many people.
          3. More chapters just seem more impressive…? Like there’s more from the outset to peak into?
          
          These are just a few thoughts, maybe there’s more to dig into here, alas, I hope maybe in doing this restructuring it may appeal to more people, however insane the story premise and material is with all the niche silly crossovers ahaha…

FYI, these chapters will average around 5K and will go from 2 chapters to 8 once I’m done. 
            
            I’ll probably do all this though once I’ve finished another similar project… you’ll see what that means when it’s out ahahaha…

Feels weird to see an IP do something that I wanted to write in my fanfiction, now I hope I can just make things special in the execution of the written work… the finer lines, the unique differentiation between canon and fan material.

Full transparency, for the remaining month of 2025 I’m going to try my best to publish a few additional works, I won’t specify what they are, but they are:
          
          • A fan work based on a YouTuber’s content, similar but quite different to my Rest Azure’d work, you’ll see.
          • Something I’ve really wanted to write for years as a fan of Capcom, but never knowing what media of theirs to focus in on.
          • Continuation of another work of mine that has been in the making for a few years. 
          
          When all of these are out, I’ll decide on potential reception and feedback what to focus my attention towards, regardless of what happens, going into 2026 I’ll be trying to drop more Konosuba x Princess Connect chapters considering the enjoyment people have had reading that.

Update, hope everyone’s had a good year, to anyone that reads this, these plans haven’t changed, I’ve just been feeling very unwell lately which hasn’t helped with my creative mindset, so all of these may not come to fruition until the end of January ~ Febuary.

Finally finished that Konosuba x Princess Connect chapter, for any readers invested in that, know that the ā€œKazuma’s Not-So Noble Missionā€ story?/arc? is concluded.
          
          Next chapter will feature Megumin more in the spotlight and the gourmet guild.
          
          Kazuma will be around but I’m gonna be lessening his focus since as much as he is ā€œthe main characterā€ of Konosuba, I do want the others to shine too, so I’ll be trying to switch the focus around henceforth.

Another update!
          
          Fixed up some little grammatical things in Taimanin Slice: Prologue.
          
          Next chapter/part of Konosuba x Princess Connect is under 7000 words, this will not be the final of this little mini arc but instead the second of three acts (otherwise the ending would be very rushed.)
